SUMMARY
This article describes how to use your MSN, The Microsoft Network, account
as your Internet service provider (ISP) with Windows CE and Microsoft
Pocket Internet Explorer.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: To use this method, you must have an existing MSN account. To create
an MSN account, you must either run MSN Setup on a computer running
Microsoft Windows 95, or call MSN Support.
To use MSN as your ISP, you must have the following information:
- Your user name (Member ID) and password for your MSN account.
- Your local MSN phone (or access) number.
Once you have obtained this information, follow these steps:
- Tap the Start button, tap Programs, double-tap the Communications
folder, and then double-tap Remote Networking.
- Double-tap Make New Connection.
- Type a name for your MSN connection, tap Dial-Up Connection to select
it, and then tap Next.
- In the Telephone Number box, type your local MSN access number, and
then tap Finish.
- Double-tap the icon for your new MSN Connection.
- In the User box, type the following line
MSN/<your MSN user name>
where <your MSN user name> is your MSN Member ID.
NOTE: "MSN" must be entered in all uppercase letters.
- In the Password box, type your MSN account password.
- Leave the Domain box empty.
- Click Connect.
NOTE: Although you can use MSN as your ISP, you cannot receive MSN mail
using the Windows CE Inbox. Windows CE version 2.0 can send e-mail messages
when you use a Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server. Windows
CE cannot receive e-mail messages because MSN requires Secure Password
Authentication (SPA) and Windows CE uses clear text passwords. For more
information about MSN and Internet Mail, see the following article in the
